Armed Train in the Apocalypse

”What do you know, then?”

”You can go to Lion Pass in the Rust Area; there’s a returned unit stationed there, and they likely know more details. As for me, I don’t know much more than you do.”

”Hmm.”

Su Huan noted this information down, and Lion Pass was already part of his plan, not even a detour.

”What do you plan to do next?”

Lord Lian asked.

Su Huan thought for a moment, ”I haven’t finished handling things yet, so I came back along the way. There’s a snake in Chongying that I definitely want.”

”Why are there so many Tier Three Evolution Beasts here? It’s a bit beyond the usual number.”

Lord Lian frowned and said.

Thinking about the scene he had seen earlier, Su Huan chuckled softly without comment.

”You’ll see it once you go.”

Lord Lian didn’t dwell on the issue further, turned around, and raised his heroic eyebrow, boldly saying, ”Let’s work together to sweep through the Four Nations? If you have any requests, you can make them now.”

Su Huan glanced slightly downward, ”Collaborate?”

Lord Lian impatiently said, ”It’s a simple matter, why are you beating around the bush, just say yes or no, be straightforward!”

In a few words, Lord Lian revealed his true colors again.

Su Huan looked at the woman in front of him in slight astonishment, leaned closer to her bright and bold face, and spoke coldly, ”You’re using my heart right now, as long as I want...”

”You’ll explode!”

He then made a spreading gesture.

Lord Lian hesitated for a moment, then ground her teeth, ”I knew you weren’t up to any good, pretty boy.”

In the distance, Lian Jin, who was planning to approach, heard their argument and smoothly turned to coordinate with the Donghuang Heavy Industry troops behind him.

”If you dare not use this trick, let’s fight again! If I win, you follow my command in the next battle!”

Su Huan looked at her chest, bandaged tightly, his expression indescribable, ”And if I win?”

”You name the condition!”

”Alright!”

The two ran to a large crater created by an explosion, and a minute later, wind and clouds stirred, and a fierce energy storm almost punctured the sky’s cloud layers.

The sound of punches landing on flesh echoed from within.

With painful groans.

Through the faint energy storm, the fierce battle was still visible, the ground unable to bear such pressure, continuously sagging and cracking around them; rubble and dust floated in mid-air, stirred by their chaotic energy fields, forming a slowly rotating dust cloud.

At first, Lord Lian fell behind, beaten badly, but displayed incredible flexibility and strength, even when her spine bent beyond physiological limits, muscles tensing like steel cables, yet transforming swiftly into smooth arcs.

Sweat barely seeped from her skin before vaporizing into white steam, mingling with flying dust.

Amazing energy fluctuations emanated from them, shaking the ground in rhythmic vibrations, the shock waves spreading in circles.

Air distorted at high temperatures, sunlight refracting eerily through it, creating a blurred halo around them. Occasionally, escaping energy hit distant rocks, slicing them in half with a roar.

Everyone’s hearts raced, but they dared not check the battle.

The fight lasted an entire hour, a relatively short time but seemingly a miniature natural disaster, ending with the ground below them collapsing into a shallow pit nearly five meters in diameter.

Su Huan leisurely shook off the dust on his body, ”Remember to deliver that Rule Stone from the Gravity Zone.”

Lord Lian lay in the pit, her chest heaving violently, white steam rising from her skin, condensing briefly in the cold air, gritting her teeth, ”Call it even then, right?”

”Even?”

Su Huan stomped lightly on her solid abdomen, playing, ”Consider it a bonus.”

Lord Lian groaned, cursing lowly, ”...Wait till I ascend to Tier Four, and I’ll stomp you every day!”

The woman curled up, appearing weaker and more feminine, except her mouth...

”You’d be better off mute.”

Su Huan’s eyes darkened slightly.

”...Bastard! The war isn’t over yet!”

”It’s over once I arrive; I saw your stamina earlier, now let’s see your energy resistance.”

Another hour passed, and Su Huan, having pushed enough, walked out arm in arm with Lord Lian, sighing as they went, ”You’re not bad as a buddy.”

Lord Lian retorted sarcastically, ”Being your buddy is miserable.”

Su Huan’s face twitched slightly, patting the woman’s hip, to which Lord Lian rolled her eyes but swallowed the next words.

Lian Jin, already growing impatient, witnessed this scene, his eyes nearly popping out; if not for his sister being present, he would gladly give Su Huan a thumbs up.

Only a crazy, perverted train conductor like him could tame such a wild brute as his sister.

However, the two stood as a match made in heaven — one nearing two meters tall, the other at 1.8 meters, one robust and fierce, the other sexy and glamorous; they were like wolves, jackals, tigers, leopards together!

If their mother knew her sister could get married, she’d be overjoyed!

Except for the aura the two carried, which was quite unsettling, especially as his sister poorly controlled it, suppressing him uncomfortably with her biological presence.

Lian Jin looked at Su Huan, couldn’t help but ask, ”Did you ascend to Tier Four?”

...

As the war ended, some squads gathering among the Donghuang People began to withdraw.

The Armed Train, quite tactfully, did not intervene.

These squads were led mainly by Tier Two Evolvers, belonging to various top and major forces; during the previous war, had they not dispersed among the troops to hold back the Pan-Asian Alliance’s elite Evolvers, relying solely on smaller forces, the Donghuang side would have surely collapsed.

The squad affiliated with Black Kite was the weakest, led by a mere Tier One, unnoticed in the previous battle.

Just an unremarkable-looking man, but upon closer inspection, the indifference in his eyes chilled one’s heart.

Like an emotionless machine.

”You’ve grown stronger again... Wonderful.”

The man didn’t say anything more, only entered a few words into his terminal, ”Steel Slaughterer Plan initiated.”

...

Su Huan sat on the orange cat sofa he hadn’t seen for a while, stretching his legs far out, his bones cracking, then crossing his left foot over his right, resembling a black cat that had just committed a sin, lazily sprawled on the couch.

Footsteps sounded, one following the other.

Without guessing, Su Huan knew it was Shu Wei and Yu Yue.

Yu Yue glanced at Shu Wei and laughed, ”You go first.”

But stayed firmly in place without any intention of backing off.

”You’re quite considerate, you two.”

Su Huan reached out, grabbed their waists, and pulled them both in.

The two women caught off guard fell into his embrace on either side, Yu Yue’s almond eyes widening, Shu Wei’s beautiful eyes raising in confusion.

Even Su Huan paused in surprise.

Led astray by that woman, Lord Lian.

Yu Yue stood up like a startled rabbit, pretending nothing had happened, but a flush still rose on her face.

Shu Wei steadied herself much more, thinking a bit as she rose, tidied her clothes slightly, and returned to her cold, glamorous, iceberg secretary demeanor.

Su Huan acted as if nothing had happened, though the soft, full sensation felt quite nice, a silent sigh escaping him.

”What’s the matter?”

Yu Yue jumped in, ”Xiaoba and the others told me they’re almost back, very close now, umm, there’s also Lin Jin, umm...”

The little chef’s shy mind seemed tangled.

Although Shu Wei and she had taken turns for a year shamelessly, both aware of each other’s existence, being so brazenly together... was something new, making her a bit uncomfortable.

Su Huan nodded, ”What about you?”

Shu Wei calmly said, ”A detailed report on the war’s process and results.”

”Look at it later, you can handle these matters for now.”

Su Huan waved his hand; he really wasn’t in the mood for these responsibilities.

”By the way, regarding information within the Four Nations, you can ask Liang Kuan and his daughter, compile it, and send a copy to Donghuang Heavy Industry for future collaboration.”
